Remove Mario Kart 7
While in certain senses, Mario Kart 7 is the ninth Mario Kart game, its title defines it as being the 7th Mario Kart game. People looking for the 9th Mario Kart game have almost certainly dismissed Mario Kart 7 as that game. Since a disambiguation page is meant to direct the user to the page(s) they want to see, Mario Kart 7 should be excluded. Salmancer (talk) 14:02, January 19, 2025 (EST)
- I was really just trying to cover all bases within a certain reason. I don't personally disagree with its removal nor that of Arcade GP VR, so as far as I'm concerned feel free to do so. Polley001 (talk) 14:06, January 19, 2025 (EST)
- I agree with Polley001; there are enough variables that multiple games could qualify as the ninth Mario Kart title. That being said, I also feel this disambiguation page is unnecessary with the fact that these factors could also be applied to other games and their positions. One could say that Mario Kart Wii is not "Mario Kart 6" because two arcade games came before it. I kinda feel this page exists because we're jumping some hoops just to justify it's existence as a disambiguation page when realistically, it should just redirect to Tour because Nintendo has officially stated it to be a part of the mainline series when they announced the Booster Course Pass. That's just my opinion, however.

- If it were up to me it would either redirect to Tour or simply not exist at all, this disambiguation page to me is just a compromise to avoid an endless back and forth of changing which page Mario Kart 9 redirects to (and even if it's deleted, it seems likely someone would just recreate it again unless some kind of lock can be implemented).

- I'd also be down for deleting it overall if it comes to that. This whole thing is just a "One person could consider this vs. one person could consider that" situation. Super Mario Bros. 4 doesn't have a disambiguation page, it just leads straight to Super Mario World, despite Super Mario Land being the fourth game in the series or for those who'd also consider Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels being the second game, leading to Super Mario World technically being the sixth game. Case in point, this particular situation isn't being done elsewhere and I don't see why this needs to be a special case. Tails777 Talk to me!16:59, January 19, 2025 (EST)
